Have your say: Should the superannuation age be increased?

  • 08/07/2021

The cost of superannuation is back in the spotlight again after a Treasury report this week cast doubt on whether the current age of eligibility is sustainable. 

The report estimates the cost of universal super will increase by more than 50 percent over the next 40 years. The current age of eligibility is 65, but the report suggested increasing that to 67 or taxing recipients more on other income to pay for it. 

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has previously ruled out raising the age - like Prime Minister John Key did - but National's Judith Collins this week said a conversation about increasing the eligibility was needed. 

What do you think? Should the superannuation age be increased?
